Njambi McGrath 

"As a newcomer, Njambi McGrath reached the finals of most of the new comedian competitions, coming second in Piccadilly Comedy Club London New Comedian Of The Year final 2013. Since then she has gone from strength to strength. Because Njambi breaks down her act into bite sized jokes, it’s easy to miss the seriousness of many of the topics her comedy covers. These include her African heritage, poverty, famine, immigration, class and even genital mutilation. Delivered with more charm than a fairies wand, her innate ability to head straight for the punchline always ensures the laughter metre stays high. The fast turnover “one-liner” style of comedy is often seen as the preserve of balding white men of a certain age and girth, with jokes about everyday observations, clever word-play, the mother-in-law or surreal quips. Seeing an African woman adopt this style to talk about her life can sometime throw some people off. Don’t be thrown, sit back and admire the sharpness of the writing matched with the charming delivery. And allow yourself to laugh about some very real subjects. You won’t regret it."  Piccadilly Comedy Club
